The US is angry. It is extremely angry. Angry at whom? It is not only angry at this humble person. It is angry at you as well. It is angry at the Iranian nation. It is angry at the Iranian government. It is angry at the Iranian Revolution. Why is that? It is because the US has been defeated. It has been defeated by this great movement. Now, the American officials have resorted to talking nonsense. The US President says, "The Iranian government is afraid of its people." This is not the case. The Iranian government is the progeny of these people. It belongs to these people. It has been created by these people and it relies on them. Why should it be afraid? If it had not been for the Iranian people, there would have been no government. If this government has stood up against you for 40 years, it has done so with the help of these people. It was the people who managed to help the government gain the power to stand up against you.

He says that the Iranian government is afraid of the American power. If we were afraid of you, how come we threw you out of Iran in the 1350s and completely eliminated you from the region in the 1390s? He says that the people of Iran are hungry and that they need food. That is while according to their own statistics, there are 50 million hungry individuals in the US who need food assistance. Then he says that the people of Iran are hungry! The people of Iran have lived with honor and dignity. By Allah's favor and grace and with divine assistance, they will improve on a daily basis and their economic problems will be eliminated despite your foolish desires.

The US president expresses his concern! During the past five, six days, he has expressed his opinions almost every day [Audience laugh]. He expresses his concern about the Iranian government's behavior towards the protesters. He says, "We do not know what the Iranian government does to the protesters." Do you not feel ashamed? [Audience laugh] In the course of just one year, your police have killed eight hundred of your people! Is it not shocking to see that in a country and in just one year, the police – which should normally guarantee people's safety – have killed eight hundred individuals? You are people who did whatever you could against your nation in the Occupy Wall Street affair. You kicked and beat the people and you murdered individuals with the slightest accusation and doubt. There was a female driver who was driving in her car. The police became suspicious and killed her in front of her child! These continuous events have taken place in the US.
